You've heard about the big wheel planned for Orlando, right? This is not your little sister's Big Wheel though. Sentinel colleague Sara K. Clarke shares lots of facts about Greal Orlando Wheel, set to be ready in 2010. (There's also a slide show at www.orlandosentinel.com/onlineextras)

The attraction is said to be similar to the London Eye, which was an unexpected delight of my trip to London with my dad in 2001. I mean, it's a giant ferris wheel, right? But the view was spectacular and at just the right pace. (My fave fact is that the Orlando Eye, er, Wheel will move at 9 inches per second).
